A corporation that treats its employes fairly and with the amount of respect and consideration that they merit is generally in a prosperous state and its dividends invariably overtop those of corporations that follow the alternative course. If a laboring man is well treated, his wages fair and his hours regular, his work will be characterized by faithfulness and fidelity to the inter ests of his employers. It is but one of the dictates of human nature for a man to rebel under unjust treatment and to perform his duties in a slip-shod man ner without having the interests of his employers at heart. The Pennsylvania Railroad is one of the most humane corporations of its kind in the country. Any grievance of the men is given a prompt audience and if a just cause exists stops are at once taken to rectify the wrong. This system has added materially in making the Pennsylvania one of the best conducted railroads in the country. The Pennsylvania does not believe that a man is incompetent when lie passes the two score mark in life but believes that he is rich in experience, is careful and painstaking and more trust worthy than a young man, who is liable to err, and an error or miscalculation on a railroad generally results in an appalling sacrifice of life. Wrecks and catastrophes on this road are in consequence remarkably few because competent men are ompioyed at good wages. The Pennsylvania Railroad is now about to inaugurate a pension system that will go a long way toward inspiring harmony and a kindred feeling among their employes. Under the pension system at present in course of forma tion seventy years is the age fixed for compulsory retirement and any man who has been in the employ of the company for thirty years will be eligible to a pension, the amount to bo fixed in comparison with the wages receivod. It will cost 8250,000 per annum to put the plan into effect and the benefits to bo reaped by the employes are obvious. If other corporations followed the procedent established by the Pennsyl vania Railroad traveling would be made safer and railroad strikes and dissatis faction among the men would be totally eliminated. "Doubtless there arc many mer chants," says an exchange, "who hesi tate to extend their use of newspaper advertising, being skeptical as to the returns; but their fear of loss is not well grounded. Good newspaper advertising has become too well established and its profitable results too satisfactorily recognized to permit of a reasonable doubt of its value as the one great medium by which the tradesman may reach the people and secure their patronage. Advertising will not fail to bring adequately remunerative returns if conducted through the medium of a newspaper whose popularity and relia bility have been well established." Two or three more fraudulent elec tions have been prospectively provided for by Governor Stone's action in veto ing the constitution amendment to secure proper registration and by the tactics adopted to delay a final determi nation by the courts of his right to veto. There cannot be any doubt, how ever, that in October the supreme court will reverse tlie ruling of Judge Weiss with scant ceremony. Justice is merely halted; it has not been permanently overth row i). — PhiUi. Record. The suppression of Cuban newspapers which refuse to distort the news still goes on by the agents of the administra tion in that benighted isle. Poor Cuba is more worthy of sympathy today than ever In Its history. When Spaniards controlled it the wrongs inflicted on the people were spread broadcast, now it is treason in Cuba or America to publish the high-handed acts of American plunderers. ACROSS THE DEEP OCEAN. Continued from First Pujfe. out here. We are satisfied now that our quarters in the Palace will be more stationary. I was up along the beach towards Cavlte on Sunday and saw one of the vessels which Dewey smashed. It is a complete wreck and not worth Its weigh in mud, although it lias the ap pearance of having been a fine ship once. Dewey left hero a couple of weeks ago and 1 guess there will be a big time when ho arrives home. The battleship Oregon and several cruisers are lying in the harbor. At night they make a pretty scene while signalling with their powerful search lights. FILIPINOS' HEAVY LOSSES. If you meet Jack Slattery tell him that Battery II is now the crack buttery of the Sixth. That is why it was sent to guard the Palace. We find Juno weather here very warm. We do not do much work dur ing the day, only the necessary guard. The evenings are fine and cool, but mosquitoes and ants cause great annoy ance at night. There was an engagement yesterday near here in which we lost nine killed and ninety wounded. The Fourteenth infantry caught it the heaviest. Tin loss was serious enough, but the other side is not done counting yet. It Is im possible to reckon the insurgents' dead and wounded. It is estimated that at least 5,000 of them are dead or on the way to their long home. We have not seen any of that kind of war so far. Our greatest trouble is to make the Chinese and Filipinos under stand us when wo talk to them. Before we got away from the islands I suppose we will know the language thoroughly. One year of my service will soon bo over and if each of the remaining two goes as quickly it will not seem so long. So far 1 am healthy, but one enlistment in this country will be enough for me. 11EAUTIFUL CHURCHES. Whatever else It may be, this is a great Catholic country. The cathedral and many of the churches are wonder fully grand. The cathedral of Manila | Is less than thirty paces from where 1 am writing this letter, and it is a mag nificent building. The priests hero are nearly all Spaniards, although many native clergymen are found in the churches. We had two American priests hero, but Father McKennon and his companion left for Iloilo the other day to join the regiments of which they are chaplains. Pay day is a scarce article in this country. They say it comes along every two months or so, but as for that I can't vouch. We haven't met It yet. Per haps wo moved our camps so often that the paymaster couldn't find us. Since we came to guard the Palace and treas ury building our hopes of seeing some good American coin have risen. DECENT FELLOWS IN BATTERY 11. It is very unhandy to be without cash in this country. A fellow must lay in a large supply of envelopes, paper, stamps, tobacco, soap and other neces saries of civilization and then run the risk of having the whole bunch stolon before you own it a day. Hereafter this trouble ought not be, as only Bat tery II and Major General Otis and staff will bo in the Palace, and I know our battery is composed of pretty decent fellows. In camp a man had to carry Ids knapsack with him in daytime and sleep on it at night, otherwise his worldly possessions would soon disap pear. our voyage from San Francisco was without special incident. We arrived at Honolulu on April 27 and did not leave until April 30. I had shore leave every day and evening while there and enjoyed our stay very much. Honolulu is said to be one of the prettiest cities in the world, and it is all that is claimed for it. CITY OF HONOLULU. Adam and Eve may have been placed somewhere else, but to me it seems that Honolulu was their Paradise. The whole city is one grand flower garden, and the fine shade from the large cocoa nut trees, along with the breeze from the sea, counteract the heat of the sun and make the climate perfect. Of course the weather in April was warmer than we have at home in that month, but the residents told us it didn't get much hotter. We left two of our men In Honolulu hospital. One had intermittent fever and the other was sick before we started from Fortress Monroe. The people of Honolulu are a gener ous, whole-souled race of people, quiet and unassuming. Tho natives nearly all speak English. Many are well edu cated and hold important positions. All tho police, except the mounted force, are natives. Everybody drosses as cool as decency permits, except the Japs and Chinese, who go about half the time in tlie garb which nature clothed them. AN ORDERLY TOWN. The city is remarkable for its absence of crime. Rowdies, beggars and mendi cants are not tolerated on tho island. The natives are good workers, very in dustrious and independent, and con sidered strictly honest. Our fiag is Hying from the palace, hut our laws will not go into effect until next July. I saw ex-Queen Lll's palace. It is now used by the government. The; great drawback to the country is the absence of cable connection. No news reaches the island except that which is brought by steamers stopping there. Our transport, thb*\Varren. averaged 300 miles a day after leaving Honolulu. This is considered good spend for the vessel. Wo hud religious services on hoard regularly for all who wished to participate. They were held by two clergymen of the Episcopal church who were bound for the Philippines to do missionary work. STOWAWAYS ON BOAKD. We also had two stowaways on board. They were discovered a few days out from San Francisco and were put ashore at Honolulu. When we were out some hours from the latter port and the pilot had left us, the boys appeared on deck again and were carried on to Manila. They wore from ten to twelve years old. On May 4 we crossed the 180 th meri dian and at noon on that date struck a day off our calendar. Thursday became Friday, and instead of being eight hours behind San Francisco time we were sixteen hours ahead, Brush up a little on geography and you will see how this came about. The Pacific was calm and quiet all the way out. Wo had about forty cases of measles on board, but nothing more serious. On the twelfth day out we passed a group of three little islands. On one there was a volcano in full oper ation. 1 think the island is called Muta. Even a volcano was a relief to the eye then, as some of the boys were prepar ing to swear that the old boat was going around in a circle and would never I reach land. Put all things come to him who waits, and land in abundance fin ally rose before uso after wo steamed into the China sea. From there into Manila bay and then into the harbor quickly followed and here wo are. John Conaghau. AUGUST MEETING. Councilman Transacted Routine IIUHI noMM on Monday Kvening.

The use of the Public park on August 10 from noon to 0 p. in. was granted to the Presbyterian Sunday school. De- Pierro's orchestra was granted its use on August 20. L. Johnson, of Hazleton, asked that, the North Centre street sower be ex tended forty-five feet northward to per mit him to connect with a cess-pool. The matter was referred to the sanitary com mittce. Street Commissioner I)inn reported an expenditure of 9380.58 on streets in July. Police expense for July was: Regu lars, 980; special officers, 820.55; total. 8100.55. Treasurer DePierro's report showed a balance on Ist Inst: of 8870.57, after paying out 81.107.31 during July. Burgess Gallagher's report was as fol lows: Receipts, 877.05; commissions, 820.00; duo borough, 850.75. Borough Surveyor Butter's bill of 8102 for labor, etc., was approved. The printing committee was instructed to obtain tickets for use at the special election on August 20 and to deliver j them to the proper officers.

The bill of the Electric I fight Company for 8906.06 was laid over for correction. Council will meet again on Monday evening. Steady Work Until Year ICmln. The August letter of the Anthracite Coal Operators' Association estimates the output to August 1 at 25,200,000 tons from January 1. The letter com ments: "If the August production is kept nearly to 3,500,000 tons, the total on September 1 will be some 28,700,000 tons, leaving, on the basis of 48,000,000 tons for the year, 10,300,000 tons to bo mined in four months. Even assuming the December output at 4,300,000 tons, which would be exceptionally large, there would remain 5,000,000 tons a month to bo produced and marketed In September, October and November. It is extremely doubtful if this can be done, because of the continuance of the difficulty to secure sufficient labor and the growing scarcity of cars in which to transport the fuel."

Huts Thin Season Are Usually Relieved by Only n I>k)i of Koiue Color. One sees an all pink or nn all lilne lint of timer than an example complete ly of white. This Is contrary to es tablished custom. The white head covering without a touch of gayety is in America ideal feminine warm weather wear for Sunday best We have allowed Paris so to influence our headgear that, with the Parisian, our bonnets, the purest of them, must be dashed, at least with color. For pi quancy the French woman sometimes gowns herself in unrelieved white. And It is not difficult to find hats done entirely from white, but they are rare ly put forward without inquiry. Of- TAKE YOUR CHOICE, toncst, you come upon a cliapoau of white straw or mnliiio, decorated with some soft white stuff, and it would seem as if the intention to make it entire white had been excellent. At tin- last moment a paradise plume of yellow, a cluster of green leaves, a handful of llowers, is tucked 011 some where, and the whiteness ceases to he total. White as a trimming for foundations of any color is in high vogue. And tiiis whether the hat be for dress or common wear. One of the most original methods of using white is in great ma line rosettes, the only trimming of a black maline Span ish turhan. White behind crape and white chiffon are twisted on outing huts. This probably is the outcome of the wearing of two veils, one for orna ment. on straw sailors. An K1 -gunl Toilette. Toilette of cream white crepe de chine, combined with peau de soie.

Kpbhou for "Did you sever your connection with the firm or were you dischargedV" asked the friend. The man out of a job gave a few minutes to thought before answering. "I'm a little uncertain about that," lie said at last. "Uncertain?" "Yes. Of course, T know that of fice boys are discharged and general managers sever their connections, but I can't be sure that I was high enough up to sever my connection, and I don't like to think I wans low enough down to be discharged. Perhaps you'd bet ter make It that the Grin and I dis agreed." AN ENGLISH BANK A Rrlght American Woman Interview* One of the Official*. The aubloct of respectability brings to inlud the experience of an Ameri can-woman in London, who found thut the bunk with which she had been dealing was inconveniently far away, and concluded to transfer her account to another one, which was, by the way a branch of the first bank. So, not beiug versed in the ways of banks in general, and English banks in particu lar—very particular, one might say she went to the branch bunk, said she wished to open an account, and hand ed over a largish draft byway of be ginning. The bank gentleman hud her indorse it, put it carefully away aud then said: "Now, I'll kindly trouble you for ref erences." "References? 1 did uot come bore for I a place as a cook." "Ah, quite so, quite so. But, ah, you understand we shall be obliged to have some references." "Well, there's your own bank, the main one. I've been having au ac count there for a year or two; you might ask them about me." "All, quite so; but we would prefer a personal reference." "I dou't understand." "No; but it is customary when a new customer comes to the bank " "But I'm uot a new customer." "Comes to the bank, that there should be some— er—guarantee of ered." "You have guarantee enough I think. You have an Indorsed check for all the money 1 have in London." "Ah. yes, quite so; but aside from that what is wanted is a personal guar antee from some one we know, as to the respectability of a new client." "The— what?" "The—all—respectability." "You want a guarantee of my res pectability. Is that it?" "Quite right." A painful pause ensued, broken by the Americau woman asking with dan gerous sweetness. "Is this the Bank V" "Yes, the street branch of the Bunk." "1 begin to understand; It is the hank that let Itself be robbed of Mrs. Lang try's jewels, about three years ago." "Er—ah—well, yes it is." "So. then Mrs. Langtry is a custom er of tiiis bunk." "Yes. quite right." "Well. I don't wonder* now at your bank asking for outside guarantees of respectability; it evidently doesn't know it when it sees It." "All, madam, come; that remark is a bit of a nasty one." "I intended it to be. Under the*cir cumstances. I would much rather have my respectability vouched for, and by really competent Judges. You will be good enough to inquire of " and here the American rattled off a goodly string of high and mighty names, which the bank gentleman assured her more than satisticd him; he would open her account at once. "No. I believe not. It would have been all right If you had made your Inquiries first, before you took my cheek and had me indorse l it, and put it away safe and sound. But you se cured the check first and then began your catechism, and I think I'll just trouble you to let me have the draft back again." "But, madam, this is most unusual." "I hope it is; at any rate It is most disagreeable. You don't know that I told the truth about knowing those peo ple whom I Just mentioned as my ref erences. 1 may be a perfectly disrepu table impostor, and 1 think you would feel safer if you Just returned me the check." So she tucked It in her glove? and sailed out, feeling pleased, but not as much so as when an hour later a mes sage came saying that the manager of the bank presented ids compliments, and could she make it convenient to see him. Of course! it turned out that it was tlie* assistant manager who had beam so elementary in his way of re ceiving the American woman and the deposit. It always is one's assistant something, or the' deputy somebody that makes those mistakes. I'retty Hands. Girls nml women in general do not understand the graceful manipulation of the' hand. The'.v are apt to use' their han<ls more awkwardly than any other part of the body. This is because it is apt to receive small attention, and it suffers from neglect. To limber the lingers and give' elasticity to the mus cles one should practice regularly a course of hand gymnastics. Especial ly if one has much writing to do will the hands appeair stiff and awkward mile'ss well cured for. Thin hands can be' made plump by rubbing them with a gooel tissue' builder. A homely hand, one that canuot be made pretty by any contrivance, may be made half-way presentable by sleeves which droop conveniently over It. To keep the hands smooth use a few drops e>f this lotion after washing: Four ounces of orange flower water, one ouuee of glycerine, ten drops carbolic acid, twenty grnlus borax. Headache for Forty Years. For forty years I suffered from sick head ache. A year ago I began using Celery King. The result was gratifying and surprising, my headaches leaving at once.
